Overall conceptual landscape design scope

The research scope is to expand certain site scope of both sides along the watercourse, to consider and study the “1+4” area forming by main stream of Pingshan River, San Zhoutian Water, Tangkeng Water, Chi’ao Water and Shixi River, and to strengthen the connection between Pingshan River and Maluanshan Mountain.

The overall conceptual landscape design scope is the area confined by the waters blue line of main stream of Pingshan River, covering an area of about 4.8 square kilometers. Design scheme should be developed to conceptual landscape design level, directly guiding design development and implementation at later design stage.
